Graphic Design Internship (Paid)

Want to experience working in an exciting and growing startup in Central Wimbledon, paid London Living Wage (£10.20/hr) for 3 months, starting in September?

Deskpro is a helpdesk platform that helps businesses to communicate better with their customers (both internal and external) across a variety of different channels (email, live chat, voice, etc.).

We are looking for a candidate who is a self-starter, inquisitive (wants to know how things work), an enthusiast and is passionate about great design and technology to undertake a 3 month design project helping bring better online customer service to millions of customers.

You’ll be part of our small but awesome team. Working in Central Wimbledon alongside the Design teams whilst feeding back directly to the Head of Design. You will be researching, wireframing designs for all aspects of Deskpro. Including website, printed and online media, our software product, helping to support our design team.

This is a project that is only just beginning, so you will have a voice and a chance to shape real designs to be used within Deskpro. We are initially hiring an intern (paid London Living Wage £10.20/hr) for 3 months to help the Design team. This means that there is huge potential to make a really big impact and accelerate your career at a growing and profitable technology company whilst also the potential to turn it into a permanent role.

“If you’re thinking of applying for an internship at a fun, dynamic start-up where you’ll learn a lot each day, I couldn’t recommend Deskpro more! You won’t be stuck fetching coffee, you’ll be contributing real work that matters from day one.” Martina was an intern here at Deskpro in 2017, during her 3rd year university summer holiday. Read Martina’s full round-up of her internship at Deskpro.
